Seabirds Nesting On Islands In the Beagle Channel

Nesting season in the Southern Hemisphere is usually January through April and on a visit to Terra del Fuego and the Beagle Channel it was difficult to wrap our heads around the sheer numbers of seabirds everywhere.

Magellanic Cormorants are hardy and rather shy sea birds, building nests on steep cliff faces overlooking the water. They are less gregarious than other cormorant species and often nest in single pairs rather than in colonies.

This is a seabird that feeds in marine waters and the range of the Cormorant is limited to coastal areas, and is not typically found away from large bodies of water.
